Get over yourself, man. It's his stuff to sell. Not yours. And it's nobody's business but his.

You've bought things off of me & sold them, CJJ, probably from MC too. Nothing was said about that, they were your property at that point.
Price means nothing.

I actually refuse to let you drive me from these forums Ch'rell. I'm over feeling guilty when I've done nothing wrong.

If anyone wants anything that is still up let me know.

I'm not trying to drive you from the forums. But don't act like I used you. You got those figures for less than market value, and you KNOW it.

I just got my TMNT Casey Jones in the mail, thanks a ton, I'd been looking for that figure for a reasonable price for a while!

On the Ebay subject, when you are selling stuff through here, you are not paying Ebay fees, which is one of the main reasons why you shouldn't sell at Ebay prices.

I do a lot of transactions on a forum called NintendoAge, since I collect Nintendo games as well as TMNT action figures, and 90% of the time when I buy something from that forum, I get a better deal than ebay. I don't have any transactions here, so I don't know how it works.

If it was me selling the items, I would sell it at a lower price than Ebay, just to help out the community. There is not much of a community aspect on Ebay, this is where it differs from here. I would be much more inclined to giving out a good deal to a drome member, than an Ebay member.

The five figures arrived today! Just wanted to say thanks again, they're in GREAT condition and were packed incredibly well too! You weren't kidding about losing interest in 'em. They came complete with dust!

Leaving Feedback now!

I know it's horribly off topic, but I just need to add my two cents.

I collect Transformers primarily, and I can assure you that it's much easier to find them on forums at a fraction of the ebay price. I'm talking 30-60% of the cost for most figures on ebay. From my limited experience here, forum prices are definitely lower, but by nowhere near that margin.

I think it stems from the fact that you simply can't buy Transformers in bulk quantities and resell them the way you can Turtles, and as a result there are a lot less people on TF forums simply looking to turn a profit. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I'm just saying that it's far more common and acceptable in the TMNT community to resell figures, and that brings up the average prices for the rest of the community.

When I joined here a couple months ago, I sold a butt-load of my old vehicles and figures that I didn't want. I got at least a half dozen people sending me lowball offers (by lowball I'm talking like ~$1 per figure), obviously looking to resell everything. I wasn't upset by it so much as I just wasn't used to it.

I think that reselling is totally fine because it's such an accepted thing in this community. Therefore, it should be fair game no matter who's buying and who's selling. It's a double standard to say that the toys you resell are just business, while a fellow board member reselling something of yours is "taking advantage". All or nothing; There should be no grey area.

I still have items for sale. Let me know if you are interested.

[Cowabunga Carl]

Still got the ones listed. Willing to make deals.

Thought I'd push one more time and give my fellow dormers a chance before I put what I have left on e-bay.
